I'm running the TFT35 E3 V3 on my Biqu B1 (latest FW) and I can't reproduce this.

[zonalimitatore]

The same to me.
Last firmware avaiable. tft24,if im in marlin and do a print from sd,automatically switch to touch mode

[Manu512]

Hello,

Same with Last Firmware.
And Filament Sensor doesnt work for me. I've a sensor on the SKR1.4 Turbo and another on the TFT and no one work correctly.

I've Two extruders on a mixing hotend.

If youve made any changes in the config.ini the issue could be a change youve made, so you should upload those files somewhere and post the link here so ppl can see what might be wrong. I think the best way is to use github desktop and push your changes to a your own branch on a BTT TSF fork so anyone can go check out your fork and you can easily link to your changes/config files easily without having to uplaod/zip them or pastebin them

I compile myself the firmware with PlatformIO.
This is my Configuration.H

Configuration.zip

[zonalimitatore]

Isn't a config problem....My problem start with upgrade of the official firmware

[LongLiveCHIEF]

Could you post just the file, and not a zip? Put it in a gist or link to your fork.

[charakaSamawry]

People have no easy way of knowing what changes you made and when you last updated everything. (ie which changes happened in between your last update and this most recent one that introduced these problems).
Configuration file is good but hard to see what changes you made with out being more familiar with the code

It would be useful to have your folder of the BTT TSF uploaded to a personal branch on a fork of BTT TSF on your github so people can see all your files and the exact changes that you made, since youre compiling it yourself there's more that can go wrong.

Easiest way is to fork BTT/BTT TSF and create a new branch with your changes copied into it (In github desktop) then push it so its public, here online, for others to view.

Using github desktop makes life easy and works with VSCode plugins really nicely as well. Which people could use to more easily identify your problem, if your folder was public, on personal branch with your changes.
You can open easy to read comparisons with previous version ,PRs or Issues or specific commits even. I could even compare youre config to mine and it highlights the differences. (Uses the feature to quickly fix clashes as well during a merge. opens vscode from github desktop and highlights clashes with options to include the old or new changes or even edit manually the changes)
sorry if you knew that

Thanks for your reply and interest, I will soon publish a fork on github.
I would like to clarify that I also tried with the pre-compiled firmware for tft35 v3 and the problem persists.

[charakaSamawry]

The devs should be able to help. I’ll have to try it on my printer now.. always print from touch screen so haven’t noticed this issue myself.

Do you use the most up to date files? or releases? Have you tried using the latter? Ie master vs release xx.26.1

Yes, i use the latest Master....

@charakaSamawry

I believe it would be great if you could make a documentation how sharing configurations works best. Most users have troubles to compile their own firmware, so having a guide which describes what to do and what finally can be done with such a setup, would be great!

THANK YOU

@Neme77

Thank you. I know this, but it is scratching on the surface compared to what @charakaSamawry described.

[traffic-light]

@oldman4U I can add it in the pinned message and manual

[oldman4U]

Good morning my green, yellow and red friend.

I believe this has to be added to the mainpage or the existing manual of the firmware page. But if you know this all it would be great to add it with some screenshots.

[traffic-light]

Never used GitHub desktop. For so far I see it's not compatible with linux...

I'll have to take a look at it.

[oldman4U]

Charaka seems to know this. So it would be great if (s)he can help with this.

Glad I could help. I’ve just got good google-fu btw not actually versed in this stuff. JustGoogled it to find those links for you for instance. Done more researching than printing to be honest lol

[oldman4U]

👍🏻

Thank you

[traffic-light]

Yeah. I already noticed that arch linux's aur repository contains GitHub desktop ;-)

[zonalimitatore]

So,no news about this bug?

[Neme77]

So,no news about this bug?

Ciao una curiosità hai per caso Marlin 2.0.6.1???

[zonalimitatore]

So,no news about this bug?

Ciao una curiosità hai per caso Marlin 2.0.6.1???

Mmmm...2.0.6 sicuro.. l'1 bhoooo

[zonalimitatore]

Maybe ive solved....
I delete initial gcode,pause gcode,end gcode(touch mode side).
I've try to load a file on sd card from marlin mode,and it work

[blueeagle69]

I just did a fresh build from the latest source.
And now oddly I have the same issue!
The only thing I changed in source was in Selectmode.c
Changing 12864 Mode text to Marlin mode (which I have always done).

I start a print in Marlin mode and the screen instantly switches to TFT mode.
Also the buttons such as Stop become unresponsive.

[blueeagle69]

Well another weird one.
Sure enough if I started a print in Marlin mode, it would switch immediately to TFT mode, and the Stop button wasn't responding.
So I flashed the firmware version from the Biqu B1 repo and the issue went away.
I then re-flashed the latest build from this repo, and no more mode-switching when starting a print.
Strange.
But hey it appears to be working.

[zonalimitatore]

Very interesting....Seems a eeprom problem

[blueeagle69]

It started doing it again.
This is driving me insane.
Flashed the Biqu B1 FW again for the TFT.
And again, problem solved.

[zonalimitatore]

Yes I know....it's for test "back in time"

[oldman4U]

Not sure the EAGLE want the help of a bluish green frog in a red shirt...

[blueeagle69]

LMAO!
I'm not saying a word 🤣
@zonalimitatore Great work.
Saves giving me a headache!

[oldman4U]

But he is laughing....

So I would not help him...;-))))))

[zonalimitatore]

13 Jul no problems
19 Aug no problem

[oldman4U]

@zonalimitatore

Whats up! Are you sleeping!!?? No update for 7h!!

🤪

[zonalimitatore]

@zonalimitatore

🤪

Yyyyyyep! Wake up now🙃
Ready for test in free times😝

[zonalimitatore]

20 Aug no problem

[oldman4U]

zonalimitatore! Fast like a Ferra... ,well, that's a bad comparison these days. Sorry.

;-)

[zonalimitatore]

26 no problem (but in the info it's 19aug)
27 aug problem present
27aug

[oldman4U]

So when you use the one in green, everything works fine. But when you use ANY of the one in red, it does not work anymore and the TFT switches to touch mode.

Right?

[zonalimitatore]

Yes,it's right

[oldman4U]

Do you want to test the individual commits also or should I do so?

[zonalimitatore]

06c4217 #1027 and #1028 already tested with the problem present

[oldman4U]

We all should spend Gurmeet a coffee.

#1138

[zonalimitatore]

Sorry.do you mean it's solved?

[oldman4U]

Click on #1138. Download and compile and try it out.

[blueeagle69]

@guruathwal I officially love you.
Downloading now.

[blueeagle69]

@guruathwal @oldman4U
Just tested, works great.
No more mode-switching when starting a print with Serial Always On enabled!
@bigtreetech Could you push this to the Master now?

[oldman4U]

Well. We all love him!!! 😜 blueeagle69 <notifications@github.com> schrieb am So. 11. Okt. 2020 um 03:23:

Omg finally!!! Thanks @guruathwal

[CBDesignS]

I am still switching to tft mode at the start of a print when Serial Always On is enabled! but at least it is not freezing the display. At the end of the print while the neopixels are all green when I press the button the neos go out and the screen jumps back to marlin.. its actually quite nice.. A retro Marlin start of print with a splash of modern tft during print then back to retro Marlin mode once its finnished. shame its a bug because its different.

[zonalimitatore]

So,start in retro,autoswitch to TFT,and when finish the print,come autoback to retro?

[oldman4U]

Using #1138 the bug has to be fixed for all users. Once released this ticket will be closed but you can start a new one if needed.

Thank you

[muttstang]

I get this same problem now. I was running the firmware for BTT E3 RRF before but had been trying to fix temperature stability issues. now I'm running the latest bugfix 2.0.x and the config file for the TFT straight from the BTT github.
